RT = RS + ST
8x - 43 = 2x - 4 + 4x - 1
8x - 43 = 6x - 5
8x - 6x = -5 + 43
2x = 38
x = 38/2
x = 19

QS = 2RS = 2(2x-4) = 2(2*19-4) = 2*34 = 68

The area of a room is 600 square feet. The length is (x+2) feet and the width is (x+3) feet. Find the dimensions of the room

m_a_m_a [10]

Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.

Which of the following trigonometric inequalities has no solution over the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2pi radians?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A .cos(x)<1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the first inequality

cos(x)<1

x < arccos 1

x<0

This therefore does not have a solution within the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2pi

x cannot be leas than 0. According to the range not value, 0≤x which is equivalent to x≥0. Thus means otvis either x = 0 or x> 0.

For the second option

.cos(x/2)<1

x/2< arccos1

x/2<0

x<0

This inequality also has solution within the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2pi since 0 falls within the range of values.

For the inequality csc(x)<1

1/sin(x) < 1

1< sin(x)

sinx>1

x>arcsin1

x>90°

x>π/2

This inequality also has solution within the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 2pi since π/2 falls within the range of values

For the inequality csc(x/2)<1

1/sin(x/2) < 1

1< sin(x/2)

sin(x/2)> 1

x/2 > arcsin1

X/2 > 90°

x>180°

x>π

This value of x also has a solution within the range.

Therefore option A is the only inequality that does not have a solution with the range.

Answer:

y = -1x + 3 or f(x) = -1x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise/run = 3/-3 = -1

Crosses the y-axis at 3

y = -1x + 3 or f(x) = -1x + 3

Question in picture A) 16/63 B)-16/63 C) 63/16 D) -63/16

Orlov [11]

ANSWER
$\tan(x + y) = - \frac{63}{16}$

EXPLANATION

We were given that,

$\csc(x) = \frac{5}{3}$

This implies that,

$\sin(x) = \frac{3}{5}$

We use the Pythagorean identity

$\sin^{2} (x) + \cos^{2} (x)= 1$
to get,

$\cos(x) = \sqrt{1 - ( { \frac{3}{5} })^{2}} = \frac{4}{5}$

We were also given that,

$\cos(y) = \frac{5}{13}$

This means that,

$\sin(y) = \sqrt{1 - {( \frac{5}{13}) }^{2} } = \frac{12}{13}$

This is because,

$0 < \: x \: < \frac{\pi}{2}$

$0 < \: y \: < \frac{\pi}{2}$

This angles are in the first quadrant so we pick the positive values.

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \sin(x + y) }{ \cos(x + y) }$

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \sin(x ) \cos(y) + \sin(y) \cos(x) }{ \cos(x) \cos(y) - \sin(x) \sin(y) }$

$\tan(x + y) = \frac{ \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{5}{13} + \frac{12}{13} \times \frac{4}{5} }{ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{13} - \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{12}{13} }$

$\tan(x + y) = - \frac{63}{16}$
